Olsor. - Transportation of household effects, computation of excess veijht charges VIGEBT: I Bach agency is responsible for determining whether the comauted rate system or the actilal expense method will be used for transportation of an employee'shousehold goods. Where rhe actual ex- pense method is used, the applicable regulation requires that the compstation of employee's charges for excess weight be based on its ratio to the total weight shipped. Employee uust pay the charges for the excess weight based on a ratio of the total weight '.hipped.- This action is at the request of Helen R. Machin, Authorizel Certifying Officer, National Oceanic and Atospheric Administration (HAA), for an advance decision concerning excess weight charges of Mr. Alan Les Olson. Mr. Olson, an eupiyeeof theqNationai Weather Service. was authorized a permaa'nt ciange of station from Millington, Tennessee, \to W~mtiville, Alabama, a distsmce of 216 miles. Shipment of his househo1d effects was accoplished under a Government Bill of Lading (EL). The househcld effects weighed 15,940 pounds which is .4,940 pounds over the 1imit authorized of 11,000 pounds. The harges applica ole to the exceuu weight were computed by NOAA pursu- 'ant to the Feheral Traiel Regulations (FTiF)-FM 101-7, para- graph 2-8.3b(5). The amount calculated together with $78.80 of other disallowed .charges amounted to v850.75. Mr. Olson does not question the disallowed charges 1'tu has qdestioned.the method of computing-the excess weight charges. He contends that the computation should have been based on the con- structive cost of anO,000 poundeshipment. Using this approach, hetarried at the :oit of transportation and other charges applicdble to the excess weight. of $419.83 by finding bre difference between the constructive cost and actual carrier charies. Cotinedwith the disallowed charges, Mr. Olson arrives at ant amount of $498.63. The basic difference results fvom the fact that the charge for the total weight of the shipment of approximately 16,000 pounds was at the rate of $4.90 per hwt. -~ j A' ~'4: DEClUlaN V A -. / I. 1* a r I I
